Front-End Focus - Kick-start your front-end career
Hey there! It’s been a while - but I’ve got some exciting news to share with you today (at least I think it’s pretty exciting… hope you’ll do too) My upcoming front-end course is almost ready to ship - and I’m really proud of how it’s turned out. It’s basically everything I wish I had known when starting out my front-end career:
These are just some of the topics I’ll be covering in the self-paced video course - and the initial feedback I’ve been getting from a few select students have been overwhelmingly positive 🥳 I’ve tried hard to do something different with this course than what is currently out there. So it’s definitely NOT a “Complete beginners guide to HTML” or “JavaScript from A-Z” type course. Instead I’ve decided to take a more high-level approach where I introduce you to all the different technologies you might come across and how they work together; but also leave it up to you to dive into the areas you find most inspiring. Combined with my own experience of working as a front-end dev for ~8 years, building both simple and extremely complex projects, and having looked at hundreds of CV’s and hired plenty of front-end developers, I think the course will provide a unique angle on how to break in to the front-end field - but also how to keep growing and improving your skills once you’ve landed the job and wish to move to the next level. That’s also why this won’t be one of these course you buy and then never finish. I’ve kept it short and sweet, so you can go through it in an afternoon - but with plenty of actionable steps you can immediately start following to become a kick-ass front-end developer 🔥 Well, that’s enough sales pitch for now… hopefully I’ve piqued your interest, and if so, you can check out the landing page for more details and pre-order here: Learn more and lock in your early-bird price NB: The price is currently at $69, which is the lowest it’ll ever be. So grab it now (or wait… I’m not your mom). Either way I have a full refund, no-questions-asked policy; so if you decide that the course isn’t for you (either now or at launch), you’ll of course get your money back. No hard feelings ✌ That’s it for now; thanks for reading my sleazy salesman pitch and for your continued support of my content on various platforms! It means the world to me, and I really think you’ll enjoy the course if you’re struggling to land that first front-end job, have trouble understanding the front-end landscape and what to focus on, or just want to level up and become better at your craft. Speak soon! That's all for now - thanks for reading! See you in 2 weeks 👋 If you enjoyed today’s newsletter, why not share it with your friends! Either by forwarding this email, or by posting about it on LinkedIn, X or Facebook. You can also simply copy/paste the link mads.fyi/fef on other platforms. It really helps to keep me motivated and let the newsletter grow 🙌 — Mads Brodt |
